I was diagnosed with COVID about 16 days ago and spent 3 days in the hospital. They sent me home once my CRP level was below 2. Now, 10 days later, my CRP is at 4.4. I'm taking Medrol 16 mg and Ecosprin 150 mg, but its gone up. Should I be concerned about this increase?

So, for the past few days, I've been dealing with this cold and fever, and my body keeps shivering. I've already taken some tablets like Cheston Cold and Combiflam, but I don't see any improvement. I'm kinda worried about it. Can you tell me what I should do next?

You can take the same medicine and stay hydrated.

I'm curious about using Combiflam for my headaches. Are there any specific things I should know before taking it? Like, are there any prerequisites or conditions that could affect its safety or effectiveness?

You can take a single dose of Combiflam to get relief from pain. It will take a half-hour to an hour to get relief from pain after taking Combiflam. You can also take it to reduce inflammation but do not exceed the recommended dosage. Take Combiflam after a meal.

I'm a little worried about cellulitis treatment. My partner has been on Augmentin 625 twice a day and Chymoral forte three times a day for the past three days. Should we be seeing a specific kind of doctor for this, or is a general practitioner okay? Also, do you think this medication regimen sounds right, or should we be doing something differently? Any advice would be super helpful.
